    <li><a  href='http://www.keplerproject.org/luaexpat/'>LuaExpat</a> - allows
    the processing of XML data.</li>
    <li><a  href='http://www.keplerproject.org/luafilesystem/'>LuaFileSystem</a>
    - allows the use of more file system functions.</li>
    <li><a  href='http://www.keplerproject.org/lualogging/'>LuaLogging</a> - allows
    the use of different logging solutions.</li>
    <li><a  href='http://www.keplerproject.org/luasql/'>LuaSQL</a> - accesses diferent
    databases with a common API.</li>
    <li><a  href='http://www.keplerproject.org/luazip/'>LuaZip</a> - allows the
